Sticks and Stones

[nefieslab]

This song has gone through a few changes in style along the way. First it started off as something to be sung like the old sound from GnR but then it gradually changed to be sung soulfully but loudly like a mixture of Nirvana's sound and a song called Changing Man (can't remember the singer). The first verse is very slow and gentle and is taken (almost exactly I'm afraid to say) from a song called Sometimes by a band called Grey Daze. But enjoy

Walls are made of stone and mortor,


and the blood flows like water,


down my face again,


for the words that I say,


to your foolish heart,


oh I should have known from the start...

 


That these stones,


will shatter my bones,


leave me a ****** mess,


but it will not break me.


These sticks will splinter,


in my eye,


but I still have my pride.


You cannot break me now.


All these sticks and stones,


(will you ever know?),


can't come close,


to breaking me down.

 


All your stones,


they crash,


and your sticks go into me,


but I'm still around,


cus (don't you know?),


you can't break me down.

 


That these stones,


will shatter my bones,


leave me a ****** mess,


but it will not break me.


These sticks will splinter,


in my eye,


but i have my pride.


You cannot break me now.


All these sticks and stones,


(will you ever know?),


can't come close,


to breaking me down.

 


I just guess you'll,


never learn,


you can't touch me now,


with all your sticks and stones,


you've thrown them all,


but I'm still around,


you can't break me down,


you can't break me down,


you can't bring... me... down...
